      (Approved by Governor July 7, 1999.  Filed with
Secretary of State July 7, 1999.)

   I am signing Assembly Bill No. 1115, however, I am reducing the
appropriations made in Section 65, 66, 70, 72 and 73 by a total of
$15,526,000.  These appropriations are being eliminated because I
have specific concerns about the projects or to ensure the State
maintains a prudent reserve.  The specific reductions are as follows:

   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (b) which allocates $200,000 to the Julian Union School
District for kitchen equipment needed for nutrition programs.
Although this program may be meritorious, I am deleting the funding
for it to ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (c) which allocates $200,000 to the Grossmont Union High
School District for construction of a swimming pool at Steele Canyon
High School.  Although this project may be meritorious, I am deleting
the funding for it to ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.

   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (d) which allocates $100,000 on a one-time basis to the
San Diego County Office of Education to provide assistance for
schools to secure health insurance for uninsured, low-income pupils.
Although this program may be meritorious, I am deleting the funding
for it to ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by $25,000 by
reducing subdivision (e) from $27,500 to $2,500 for the Alta-Dutch
Flat Union School District for afternoon school busing service.  I am
taking this action because to ensure the State maintains a prudent
reserve.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (f) which allocates $100,000 on a one-time basis to the
Los Gatos Union School District to support the expansion of science
programs through the Youth Science Institute in the City of Los
Gatos.  Although this project may be meritorious, I am deleting the
funding for it to ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (g) which allocates $250,000 on a one-time basis to the
Oak Park Unified School District for the purpose of purchasing
computer equipment and materials for the library at Oak Park High
School.  I am taking this action because the budget currently
includes $150.5 million which is allocated to all school districts on
the basis of average daily attendance, which districts can use
specifically for library materials and equipment.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (h) which allocates $175,000 to the Anaheim City School
District for an after-school learning safe neighborhoods program.  I
am eliminating this project because the use of one-time Proposition
98 funding, for what appears to be an ongoing program, is not
appropriate.  Moreover, there is an existing grant program for this
purpose, the After-School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods
Partnerships program, which awards renewable grants and is increased
by $35 million in the 1999 Budget Act for the 1999-2000 fiscal year.
Local programs may compete for renewable grants for either purpose
by applying through the Department of Education.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (i) which allocates $250,000 to the Rio Del Valle
Elementary School District for construction of a gymnasium at Rio Del
Valle Junior High School.  Although this project may be meritorious,
I am deleting the funding for it to ensure the State maintains a
prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (k) which allocates $6,000 on a one-time basis to the San
Juan Unified School District for the purchase of a computer,
printer, and appropriate software for the Cottage Elementary School
library.  I am taking this action because the budget currently
includes $158.5 million which is allocated to all school districts on
the basis of average daily attendance, which districts can use
specifically for library materials and equipment.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (l) which allocates $250,000 to the Saddleback Valley
Unified School District for construction of a gymnasium at Laguna
Hills High School.  Although this project may be meritorious, I am
deleting the funding for it to ensure the State maintains a prudent
reserve.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (m) which allocates $100,000 to the Woodlake Union High
School District for construction of a swimming pool.  Although this
project may be meritorious, I am deleting the funding for it to
ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the appropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (n) which allocates $110,000 to the Sacramento City
Unified School District to support the Sacramento START after-school
program.  I am eliminating this project because the use of one-time
Proposition 98 funding, for what appears to be an ongoing program, is
not appropriate.  Moreover, there is an existing grant program for
this purpose, the After-School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods
Partnerships program, which awards renewable grants and is increased
by $35 million in the 1999 Budget Act for the 1999-2000 fiscal year.
Local programs may compete for renewable grants for either purpose
by applying through the Department of Education.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (o) which allocates $30,000 on a one-time basis to the
Galt Joint Union Elementary School District to support an education
program using STAR test results to improve teaching.  I am deleting
this funding because I recently enacted legislation implementing the
state wide accountability initiative to hold schools accountable for
their performance and to reward high achieving and improving schools,
therefore this proposal unnecessary.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (p) which allocates $10,000 to the Oak View Unified
School District to repair the school blacktop area.  Although this
project may be meritorious, I am deleting the funding for it to
ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the appropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (r) which allocates $30,000 to the ABC School District
for an after school project at Hawaiian Gardens Elementary School.  I
am eliminating this project because the use of one-time Proposition
98 funding, for what appears to be an ongoing program, is not
appropriate.  Moreover, there is an existing grant program for this
purpose, the After-School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods
Partnerships program, which awards renewable grants and is increased
by $35 million in the 1999 Budget Act for the 1999-2000 fiscal year.
Local programs may compete for renewable grants for either purpose
by applying through the Department of Education.
   I am sustaining subdivision (z) of Section 65 which reappropriates
$700,000 to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for allocation
to the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team
(FCMAT) for distribution to the Compton Unified School District.
However, I am requesting that these funds be used only for the
specific purposes of implementing the school district's recovery
plans.  I also encourage the Compton Unified School District to fully
avail itself of the existing program funding provided, including for
summer school programs, after school programs, and the staff
development day buy out program as appropriate, to assist the
district in funding its reforms.
   I am sustaining subdivision (aa) of Section 65 which
reappropriates $1,500,000 to subsidize the costs of low-income
children's participation in residential science camps.  However, I
note that this is a one-time appropriation; this program should
develop alternative funding sources for the future.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (cc) which allocates $232,000 on a one-time basis to the
Bilingual Foundation of the Arts to develop arts-based literacy
skills in school age children.  I am deleting the funding because the
budget includes $6 million for Local Arts Education projects which
can be used for this purpose.
   I am reducing the reappropriation in Section 65 by eliminating
subdivision (dd) which allocates $100,000 to the Los Angeles Unified
School District to renovate the San Fernando High School Teen Health
Clinic.  Although this project may be meritorious, I am deleting the
funding for it to ensure the State maintains a prudent reserve.
   I am reducing the appropriation in Section 65 of this bill by
eliminating subdivision (hh) which allocates $16,900 to replace
funding reduced as a result of an audit exception at the North Cow
Creek School District.  An independent audit of the district's class
size reduction funding determined that the district inappropriately
claimed $16,900 of incentive funding during the 1996-97 school year
for classes with excess enrollment.  Since the purpose of the
incentive funding is to reduce enrollment to no more than 20 students
per teacher and the program does not permit waiver of the class size
requirement, it would b



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1115, Strom-Martin.  Education.
   (1) Existing law provides a deficit factor for the revenue limit
of each county superintendent of schools.
   This bill would provide that the revenue limit for the 1999-2000
fiscal year for each county superintendent of schools shall be
reduced by a 8.628% deficit factor.
   (2) Under existing law, on or before June 30, 1999, the State
Department of Education is required to develop prekindergarten
learning development guidelines.  The development of these guidelines
is required to be funded from funds appropriated for this purpose in
the Budget Act of 1998.  The guidelines are required to focus on
preparing 4- and 5-year-old children for kindergarten.  The
guidelines are required to be articulated with the academic content
and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education for
kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive.
   This bill would require the State Department of Education in
future expenditure plans for quality improvement activities to
include funding for periodically updating and distributing the
guidelines, and providing education, outreach, and training services
to implement the guidelines.  The bill would require child and
development programs for migrant families, state preschool, and
general child care and development programs to use the guidelines.
   (3) Under existing law, the Department of Finance and the
Department of General Services are required to approve or disapprove
annual child care and development program contract funding terms and
conditions and contract face sheets submitted by the State Department
of Education not more than 30 working days from the date of
submission, unless unresolved conflicts remain between the Department
of Finance, the State Department of Education, and the Department of
General Services.
   This bill would require alternative payment child care systems, as
defined, to be subject to rates established in the Regional Market
Rate Survey of California Child Care Providers and would require the
State Department of Education to contract to conduct and complete the
annual Regional Market Rate Survey.  The bill would require the
Department of Finance to provide to the State Department of Education
the State Median Income amount for a 4-person household in
California based on the best available data, and would require the
State Department of Education to adjust its fee schedule for child
care providers to reflect this updated state median income.
   (4) Existing law establishes the After School Learning and Safe
Neighborhoods Partnerships Program to serve pupils in kindergarten
and grades 1 to 9, inclusive, at participating elementary, middle,
and junior high schoolsites.
   This bill would provide that the program is also established to
serve pupils at charter schoolsites.
   (5) Under existing law, there is the California State Summer
School for Mathematics and Science created to establish a
multidisciplinary mathematics and science program to enable pupils
with demonstrated academic excellence in mathematics and science to
receive intensive training in these subjects.  The summer school is
governed by the State Board of Education and required to provide a
training ground for pupils who wish to study advanced mathematics or
science or to pursue careers that require a high degree of
mathematics or scientific training.  This program is repealed on
January 1, 2004.
   This bill would instead provide that the program is established to
provide academic development to enable pupils with demonstrated
academic excellence in mathematics and science to receive intensive
educational enrichment in these subjects and an opportunity for
pupils who wish to study advanced mathematics or science or to pursue
careers that require a high degree of skills and knowledge
mathematics or science.  This bill would request that the Regents of
the University of California to operate the summer school, and would
make conforming changes to this program transferring its operation
and governance from the State Board of Education to the Regents of
the University of California.  The bill would continue the summer
school indefinitely.  The bill would appropriate $1,000,000 to the
University of California for purposes of the summer school that was
appropriated from the General Fund to the State Board of Education.
   (6) Under the Academic Improvement and Achievement Act, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to recommend, and
the State Board of Education is required to adopt, criteria and
regulations for the implementation of the act.  This act defines
"qualifying school" to mean a comprehensive high school that provides
instruction in any of grades 9 to 12, inclusive, with a percentage
of pupils who graduate from the school and are eligible for admission
to the California State University or the University of California
in the following year that is below the statewide average according
to information from the California Postsecondary Education
Commission.  The act requires local educational agencies to be
invited to apply to receive funds for qualifying schools, subject to
an appropriation of funds for this purpose, and provides that funds
allocated may not exceed $100 per pupil, nor shall be less than
$20,000 at a qualifying school in any single fiscal year.
   This bill would delete the requirement to adopt regulations.  The
bill would revise the definition of "qualifying school" to mean a
comprehensive high school that provides instruction in any of grades
9 to 12, inclusive, with a percentage of pupils who graduate from the
school and enroll in the California State University or the
University of California in the following year that is below the
statewide average according to information from the commission.  The
bill would delete the requirement that a minimum of $20,000 be
allocated to a qualifying school.
   (7) Under existing law, the Controller is required during each
fiscal year commencing with the 1980-81 fiscal year, to transfer from
Section A of the State School Fund such sums, in addition to the
sums accruing from other sources, that provide in Section A of the
State School Fund for apportionment during the fiscal year a total
amount per pupil in average daily attendance during the preceding
fiscal year credited to all elementary, high, and unified school
districts and to all county superintendents of schools in the state,
as certified by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, of $180.
   This bill would require the Controller, commencing with the
1999-2000 fiscal year, to also transfer additional amounts necessary
to meet computed apportionments of general-purpose funding for
charter schools.  This provision would become inoperative on July 1,
2002, and would be repealed on January 1, 2003.
   (8) Existing law, the California Public School Library Protection
Act, requires the State Department of Education to issue to
qualifying school districts grants for the purpose of improving
school libraries.  Existing law, the California Public School Library
Act of 1998, provides for the transfer of certain funds appropriated
in the annual Budget Act to the California Public School Library
Protection Fund for apportionment to school districts for the support
of a districtwide school library plan and for expenditure for
library resources.
   This bill would establish the California Classroom Library
Materials Act of 1999, and would require the act to be administered
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.  The bill would
authorize any school district that maintains a kindergarten or any of
grades 1 to 4, inclusive, to apply for this funding under the act,
and would authorize charter schools to apply for funding on their own
behalf or through their chartering entity.  The bill would require,
as a condition of receiving funding under the act, school districts
to develop a districtwide kindergarten and grade 1 to grade 4,
inclusive, classroom library plan and to receive certification of the
plan from the governing board of the school district.  The bill
would impose certain requirements regarding the development of the
plan, including a means of preventing loss, damage, or destruction of
materials.
   The bill would establish a fund in the State Treasury to be known
as the Business Organizations and Opportunities for Kids Fund to be
administered by the State Librarian in consultation with the
Superintendent of Public Instruction.  The bill would require moneys
donated by private entities for the purchase of classroom reading
materials to be deposited in this fund.  The bill would provide that
moneys in that fund are available for expenditure only upon an
appropriation in the annual Budget Act or other act.
   The bill would require funds apportioned for purposes of the act
to be apportioned to schools in an equal amount per unit of average
daily attendance reported in the second principal apportionment of
the prior fiscal year for kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 4,
inclusive, and would require schoolsites to expend the funds to
purchase grade-level appropriate reading materials.
   (9) Existing law, as amended by Chapter 1 of the 1999-2000 First
Extraordinary Session to become operative January 1, 2000, requires
the governing board of each school district maintaining any or all of
grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer summer school instructional
programs for pupils enrolled in those grades who do not demonstrate
sufficient progress toward passing the exit examination required for
high school graduation.  Existing law also authorizes the governing
board of any school district that offers certain summer school
instructional programs to offer summer school programs for
instruction in mathematics, science, and other core academic areas.
   This bill would authorize school districts to provide this
instruction during the summer, after school, Saturday, or during
intersession, or in any combination of summer, after school,
Saturday, or intersession instruction, but in addition to the regular
schoolday and would apply these provisions to charter schools,
thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
   (10) Existing law authorizes the governing board of each school
district maintaining any or all of grades 2 to 6, inclusive, to offer
programs of direct, systematic, and intensive supplemental
instruction to pupils enrolled in grades 2 to 6, inclusive, with low
mathematics, reading, or written expression scores to allow those
pupils to achieve proficiency in standards adopted by the State Board
of Education.
   The bill would apply those provisions to charter schools.
   (11) Existing law limits a school district's maximum entitlement
for reimbursement for pupil attendance in core curriculum area summer
school programs and vocational work experience summer school to be
an amount equal to 7% of the district's total enrollment for the
prior fiscal year multiplied by 120 hours, multiplied by the hourly
rate for the current fiscal year.
   This bill would revise the manner in which summer school
attendance is calculated and apply these provisions to charter
schools.
   (12) Under existing law, the California Constitution requires a
minimum level of funding for school districts and community college
districts.
   This bill would provide that if, as the result of an audit or
review, as defined, a local education agency is required to repay as
apportionment significant audit exception the total amount of
disallowed apportionment claims be subtracted from the allocation
that the local educational agency would otherwise receive pursuant to
this constitutional provision.
   This bill would provide for the establishment of a repayment plan
for a district with disallowed apportionment claims by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Director of Finance.
   (13) Under existing law, for the 1990-91 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter, allocations calculated to be applied by the
state for the support of school districts and community colleges is
required to be distributed in accordance with certain calculations.
This provision does not apply to the fiscal years 1992-93 to 1998-99,
inclusive.
   This bill would provide that this provision does not apply to
fiscal year 1999-2000.
   (14) Under existing law, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
is required to compute an inflation adjustment in accordance with a
formula for the 1986-87 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter.

   This bill would revise the formula for the 1999-2000 fiscal year,
and each fiscal year thereafter.
   This bill would also provide that the revenue limit for each
school district shall be reduced by an 6.996% deficit factor, for the
1999-2000 fiscal year.
   (15) Under existing law, the county superintendent of instruction
is required to compute an amount for each school district's summer
school attendance in accordance with a specified formula.
   This bill would require the county superintendent of instruction
to compute an amount for each charter school's summer school
attendance in the same manner, thereby imposing a state-mandated
local program.
   (16) Existing law requires that a person to be employed in a
position not requiring certification qualifications, except a
secondary school pupil employed in a temporary or part-time position
by the governing board of the school district having jurisdiction
over the school attended by the pupil, to be fingerprinted for
purposes of a criminal history check by the Department of Justice.
   This bill would require the Department of Justice to process all
requests from a school district, an employer, or a human resources
agency for criminal history information on a volunteer to be used in
a school pursuant to the provisions that relate to persons employed
by a school district that do not require certification
qualifications.
   (17) Existing law authorizes the Commission on Teacher
Credentialing to set a fee for the issuance and renewal of teaching
and service credentials that may not exceed $70 and to charge a
single fee, not to exceed the charge for a single supplemental
credential, for all supplemental credentials applied for at the same
time.
   This bill would authorize the commission to waive those fees for
first-time teaching credential applicants subject to funds being
appropriated expressly for this purpose in the annual Budget Act.
   (18) Existing law sets forth a formula for computing the amount
that a school district may be reimbursed for the costs of its
voluntary program designed to remedy the harmful effects of racial
segregation.  Existing law provides that, commencing with the 1998-99
fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the amount that the
Sacramento City Unified School District may be reimbursed for the
costs of its voluntary desegregation program shall not exceed the
amount in excess of 1/5 of the audited desegregation cost approved by
the Controller and actually incurred in the 1990-91 fiscal year,
reduced by the federal desegregation reimbursement of $3,096,989
received in the 1990-91 fiscal year, as adjusted for inflation and
changes in enrollment, as specified.
   This bill would provide that notwithstanding this provision,
commencing with the 1998-99 fiscal year, the Sacramento City Unified
School District's level of reimbursement shall be calculated based on
actual reimbursements received for its 1998-99 voluntary
desegregation audited claim.
   (19) Under existing law, each fiscal year, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction is required to provide each eligible school
district, county office of education, and charter school applying for
a grant under the Instructional Time and Staff Development Reform
Program with a staff development allowance of $270 per day for up to
3 days, for each certificated classroom teacher and $140 per day for
up to one day for each classified classroom instructional aide and
certificated teaching assistant who participates in staff development
instructional methods.
   This bill would require that these amounts be adjusted annually
commencing in the 1999-2000 fiscal year by a specified inflation
adjustment and would include conflict resolution as curriculum that
may be included in staff development.
   (20) Under existing law, school districts are apportioned state
funds for home-to-school transportation and special education
transportation in accordance with specified formulas.
   This bill would provide that a charter school is eligible for
funding pursuant to, and shall comply with all requirements of, these
provisions and that for purposes of these provisions.
   (21) Under existing law, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
is required to apportion to each charter school for each fiscal year
(1) from funds appropriated to Section A of the State School Fund for
apportionment for that fiscal year, an amount for each unit of
regular average daily attendance in the charter school that is equal
to the current fiscal year base revenue limit for the school district
to which the charter petition was submitted, (2) for each pupil
enrolled in the charter school who is entitled to special education
services, the state and federal funds for special education services
for that pupil that would have been apportioned for that pupil to the
school district to which the charter petition was submitted, and (3)
funds for specified categorical education programs to the extent
that any pupil enrolled in the charter school is eligible to
participate.
   This bill would delete this provision.
   (22) Under existing law, the full apportionment received by the
basic aid district, as defined, under certain circumstances, is
required to be provided to a charter school, and with respect to any
pupil of a charter school located within a basic aid school district
who resides in a district other than a basic aid district, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction, commencing with the 1998-99
fiscal year, is required to calculate for that school an
apportionment of state funds that provides 70 percent of the district
revenue limit calculated that would have been apportioned to the
school district of residence for any average daily attendance
credited.
   This bill would repeal this provision.
   (23) Under existing law, notwithstanding the provision discussed
above, commencing with the 1999-2000 school year and only upon
adoption of regulations, charter school operational funding is
required to be equal to the total funding that would be available to
a similar school district serving a similar pupil population.
However, a charter school is not required to be funded as a necessary
small school or a necessary small high school, nor receive revenue
limit funding that exceeds the statewide average for a school
district of a similar type.
   This bill would repeal this provision.
   (24) This bill would revise the method for funding charter
schools.  It would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to annually compute a general-purpose entitlement, as defined, and a
categorical block grant amount, as defined, for each charter school.
The bill would provide that general-purpose entitlement funding may
be used for any public school purposes determined by the governing
body of the charter school.
   (25) This bill would provide that a charter school may be deemed
to be a local educational agency for purposes of special education
funding and compliance with applicable federal law.
   (26) Under the High-Risk First-Time Offenders Program, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to apportion to each
county office of education or school district that operates a
program, in addition to funds from all other sources and subject to
the limitation specified in the Budget Act or other statute, $3,000
per year for each unit of average daily attendance reported at the
annual apportionment for pupil attendance in a program.
   This bill would authorize the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to provide an apportionment for startup costs under specified
conditions during the 1st year that a county office of education or a
school district operates a High-Risk First-Time Offenders Program.
   (27) Under the Transitioning High-Risk Youth Program, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to apportion to each
county office of education or school district that operates a
program, in addition to funds from all other sources and subject to
the limitation specified in the Budget Act or other statute, $3,000
per year for each unit of average daily attendance reported at the
annual apportionment for pupil attendance in a program.
   This bill would authorize the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to provide an apportionment for startup costs under specified
conditions during the 1st year that a county office of education or a
school district operates a Transitioning High-Risk Youth Program.
   (28) Under existing law, in addition to funds from all other
sources, the Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to
apportion to each school district that operates a community day
school $4,000 per year, and for each county office of education that
operates a community day school $3,000 per year, for each unit of
average daily attendance reported at the annual apportionment for
pupil attendance at community day schools.
   This bill would require that this amount be adjusted annually
commencing in the 1999-2000 fiscal year for inflation by a specified
calculation.
   (29) Under existing law, there is a County Office Fiscal Crisis
and Management Assistance Team that consists of persons having
extensive experience in school district budgeting, accounting, data
processing, telecommunications, risk management, food services, pupil
transportation, purchasing and warehousing, facilities maintenance
and operation, and personnel administration, organization, and
staffing.
   This bill would establish the California School Information
Service, administered by the County Office Fiscal Crisis and
Management Assistance Team, which would be authorized to hire a
program administrator.  The California School Information Services
program administrator would be required to submit to the State Board
of Education a plan to administer, coordinate, and manage the
development and implementation of an electronic statewide school
information system to address current problems of information
exchange.
   (30) Under existing law, the State Department of Education is
required, on behalf of the state, to participate in a specified
federal child care food program, and may not terminate its
participation in the program unless the Legislature authorizes the
termination.
   This bill would require the State Department of Education, to the
extent permitted by federal law, to adopt regulations to establish
eligibility requirements for participation in the child care food
program and to impose penalties and sanctions for noncompliance by
sponsoring organizations and would authorize the department to
establish contracts effective for periods of 12 months or less for
sponsoring organizations meeting the department's high-risk profile.

   (31) Existing law provides that parents or guardians of pupils
enrolled in public school have specified rights and should have
specified opportunities with regard to the education of their
children.  Existing law requires, upon approval by the State Board of
Education, the State Department of Education to make materials that
describe a comprehensive partnership at schools that involves parents
and guardians of pupils in the public schools of California on or
before December 31, 1999, and requires these materials to include
information about the possible roles of each parent or guardian, and
of each teacher, principal, and other school personnel in fostering
and participating in parent involvement activities and programs.
   This bill would establish the Parental Involvement Grant Program
and would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
administer this program.  The bill would authorize any school
district or charter school that maintains a kindergarten or any of
grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to apply on behalf of a school for funding
under the program if the schoolsite council submits an application
and a plan that contains certain elements, including, among others, a
plan for a program that facilitates significant involvement of
parents in their children's education.  The bill would require the
plan developed by the schoolsite council to be reviewed and approved
by the governing board of the school district or in the case of a
charter school, a specified local educational agency, and to be
submitted to the State Department of Education together with the
application for funding pursuant to this program.  The bill would
require the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in any fiscal year
in which funds are appropriated for making parental involvement
grants pursuant to this program, to administer the application
process and to award one-time grants, on a competitive basis, in the
amount of $25,000.
   (32) Under existing law, a school district that elects to continue
to operate a class size reduction program in grades 10 to 12,
inclusive, is eligible to receive $135 per pupil certified pursuant
to this chapter as it read on July 1, 1998, except that total funding
shall not exceed the amount received by the school district for the
program for grades 10 to 12, inclusive, in the 1997-98 fiscal year.
   This bill would increase that amount to $165 per pupil, adjusted
annually commencing in the 2000-01 fiscal year by a specified
inflation adjustment, except that total funding would not be
permitted to exceed the amount received by the school district for
the program for grades 10 to 12, inclusive, in the 1997-98 fiscal
year.
   (33) Under existing law, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
is required to apportion to each applicant district an amount equal
to $135 per unit of full-year equivalent enrollment for special
education pupils enrolled in special education classes on a full-time
basis and the number of pupils enrolled in necessary small schools
that receive specified funding if the district certifies an average
class size of 20 pupils and not more than 22 pupils in each
participating class at each participating school.
   This bill would instead provide for an apportionment of $165 per
unit of full-year equivalent enrollment for these pupils if the
district certifies an average class size of 20 pupils and not more
than 22 pupils in each participating class at each participating
school, adjusted annually commencing in the 2000-01 fiscal year for
inflation.

(34) Under existing law, there is the Elementary School Intensive
Reading Program, and the Governor's Reading Award Program.  The
Superintendent of Public Instruction, with input from an advisory
committee, is required to evaluate these programs on or before
November 1, 2000.
   This bill would instead require the evaluation of these programs
on or before November 1, 2001.
   (35) Existing law provides for various programs to serve
individuals with exceptional needs, as defined.
   This bill would prohibit the Superintendent of Public Instruction
from allocating state funds to offset the federal funds withheld.
   (36) Under existing law, an individual with exceptional needs, who
is eligible to receive special educational instruction, related
services, or both, is required to receive educational instruction,
services, or both, at no cost to his or her parents or, as
appropriate, to him or her.
   This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to send a notice to each member of the governing board of a local
education agency within 30 days of the superintendent's receipt of
notification by the federal government that a local educational
agency is not in compliance with the Individual's with Disabilities
Education Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or
when the Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that the
local educational agency is not in compliance with any other special
education provision, with a description of those services required by
the statute with which the local educational agency is not in
compliance.  Upon receipt of the notification, the governing board
would be required to address the issue of noncompliance at a
regularly scheduled public hearing.
   (37) Under existing law, for the 1998-99 fiscal year, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to make computations
to determine the amount of funding for each special education local
plan area, including computations to determine the inflation
adjustment for the fiscal year in which the computation is made.
   This bill would revise that inflation adjustment.
   (38) Under existing law, in order to mitigate the effects of any
declining enrollment, commencing in the 1998-99 fiscal year, and each
fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent of Public Instruction is
required to calculate allocations to special education local plan
areas based on the average daily attendance reported for the special
education local plan area for the fiscal year in which the
computation is made or the prior fiscal year, whichever is greater,
adjusted for any loss or gain of average daily attendance reported
for the special education local plan area due to a reorganization or
transfer of territory in the special education local plan area.
   This bill would revise that calculation.
   (39) Under existing law, the State Board of Education is required
to complete the adoption of the portion of pupil assessments that
meets certain objectives and that yields valid, reliable estimates of
school performance, school district performance, and statewide
performance of pupils that, in grades 4, 5, 8, and 10, assess basic
academic skills and incorporate the use of direct writing assessment
and other assessments of applied academic skills, in the core
curriculum areas of reading, writing, and mathematics by December 31,
1999, and the board is required to complete the adoption of that
portion of pupil assessments for these pupils in the core curriculum
areas of history/social science and science by December 31, 2000.
   The bill would instead require the board to adopt performance
standards not later than July 15, 2000, and require the board to
complete the adoption of the pupil assessments in the core curriculum
areas not later than November 15, 2000.
   (40) Under the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program, known
as the STAR Program, the Superintendent of Public Instruction is
required to apportion funds, to enable school districts to administer
to each of its pupils in grades 2 to 11, inclusive, the achievement
test designated by the State Board of Education.  The State Board of
Education is required to establish the amount of funding to be
apportioned, which is up to $8 per test administered to a pupil in
grades 2 to 11, inclusive.
   This bill would provide, instead of up to $8 per test, that an
adjustment to the amount of funding apportioned per test may not be
valid without the approval of the Director of Finance, would require
that these requests be submitted in writing to the director and the
chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature with
accompanying material justifying the proposed adjustment, and would
require the director to approve or disapprove the amount within 30
days of receipt of the request and notify the chairpersons of the
fiscal committees of the Legislature.
   (41) Under the STAR Program, to be eligible for consideration, a
test publisher is required to meet certain conditions, including, but
not limited to, to provide disaggregated scores, based on
limited-English-proficient status and non-limited-English-proficient
status, provide disaggregated scores by pupil gender, and to provide
disaggregated scores based on whether pupils are economically
disadvantaged or not.
   This bill would require a test publisher to agree in writing to
also provide disaggregated scores for pupils who have individualized
education programs and are enrolled in special education, to the
extent required by federal law.  The bill would also require a school
district to be reimbursed by the publisher for unexpected expenses
incurred due to the late delivery of testing materials.
   (42) Under existing law, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
is required to review existing tests that assess the English language
development of pupils whose primary language is a language other
than English.  These tests are required to include, but not be
limited to, an assessment of achievement of these pupils in English
reading, speaking, and written skills.
   This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
not later than August 15, 1999, to release a request for proposals
for the development of this test or series of tests.  The bill would
require the State Board of Education, not later than September 15,
1999, to select a contractor or contractors for the development of
the test or series of tests, to be available for administration
during the 2000-01 school year.  The bill would also require the
State Board of Education, not later than July 1, 1999, to approve
standards for English language development for pupils whose primary
language is other than English.
   (43) Under existing law, the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges are required to develop criteria and standards for
the purposes of making the annual budget request for the California
Community Colleges to the Governor and the Legislature, and for the
purpose of allocating the state general apportionment revenues.
Annual revenue adjustments are required to be made to reflect cost
changes, using the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local
Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States as
published by the United States Department of Commerce, and using the
ratio for the 4th calendar quarter of the latest available year to
the 4th calendar quarter of the prior year rounded up to the 100th.
   This bill would instead require the board of governors to use the
same factor as required for school districts.
   (44) Under existing law, the California Community Colleges
Economic Development Program becomes inoperative on June 30, 1999,
and as of January 1, 2000, is repealed.
   This bill would extend this program until January 1, 2001.
   (45) Under existing law, the fee for filing a notice of appeal in
a civil case appealed to a court of appeal is $250 and the fee for
filing a petition for a writ within the original civil jurisdiction
of a court of appeal is $250.
   This bill would increase these amounts to $265.
   (46) Under existing law, the $50 of each fee collected in a civil
case by the clerk of each court of appeal for filing a notice of
appeal is required to be paid into the State Treasury for deposit in
a special account in the General Fund known as the California State
Law Library Special Account.  Existing law provides that this
provision is repealed on January 1, 2000.
   This bill would increase the fee to $65 and would extend this
provision until January 1, 2005, thereby imposing a state-mandated
local program by extending the duties of the clerk of each court of
appeals.
   (47) Existing property tax law requires the county auditor, in
each fiscal year, to allocate property tax revenue to local
jurisdictions in accordance with specified formulas and procedures,
and generally requires that each jurisdiction be allocated an amount
equal to the total of the amount of revenue allocated to that
jurisdiction in the prior fiscal year, subject to certain
modifications, and that jurisdiction's portion of the annual tax
increment, as defined.  Existing property tax law also reduces the
amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue that would otherwise be
annually allocated to the county, cities, and special districts
pursuant to these general allocation requirements by requiring, for
purposes of determining property tax revenue allocations in each
county for the 1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years, that the amounts of
property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to the
county, cities, and special districts be reduced in accordance with
certain formulas.  It requires that the revenues not allocated to the
county, cities, and special districts as a result of these
reductions be transferred to the Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund in that county for allocation to school districts, community
college districts, and the county office of education.
   This bill would require, for the 1999-2000 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter, that if, after making these prescribed
allocations, a county auditor determines that there are still
additional funds to be allocated, that those funds be allocated to
the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the
amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be
shifted from those local agencies to the county's Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year.  This bill would,
for the 1999-2000 fiscal year, condition the operation of this
allocation provision upon an appropriation, as provided, in the
Budget Act of 1999.  By imposing new duties in the allocation of ad
valorem property tax revenues, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.  However, this bill would provide that
no reimbursement is required by these provisions for a specified
reason.
   (48) Under existing law, there is in the Department of the Youth
Authority a correctional education authority for the purpose of
carrying out the education and training of wards committed to the
youth authority.
   This bill would provide that for purposes of receiving state funds
pursuant to subdivision (b) of Article XVI of the California
Constitution (Proposition 98), the correctional education authority
is a state agency and is only entitled to state funding for direct
instructional services provided to wards attending a course of study.
  The bill would prohibit the authority from receiving state funds
unless the funds are specifically appropriated to the Youth Authority
for direct instructional services, and would provide that the
authority may not receive additional funds from the State Department
of Education under any other program.
   (49) Under existing law, $5,000,000 is appropriated from the
General Fund to the Library of California Board to fund the startup
phase of the Library of California for expenditure in the 1998-99
fiscal year.
   This bill would authorize expenditure of these funds in the
1998-99 and 1999-2000 fiscal years, thereby making an appropriation.

   (50) This bill would require, notwithstanding any other provision
of law, that the state funds for revenue limits to school districts,
county superintendents of schools, and charter school operational
funding certified to the Controller in the 2000-01 fiscal year do not
exceed certain amounts as determined by statute.
   (51) This bill would provide that, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the cost-of-living adjustment for certain items of
the Budget Act of 1999 is 1.41% and would provide that these funds
are in lieu of the amounts that would otherwise be appropriated.
   (52) This bill would reappropriate $15,471,000 from the
Proposition 98 Reversion Account to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction for allocations in various amounts on a one-time basis to
various school districts for specified purposes.
   (53) This bill would appropriate $973,400 from the General Fund to
the Superintendent of Public Instruction for allocation in various
amounts to school districts on a one-time basis for specified
purposes.  These funds would be applied toward the minimum funding
requirements for school districts and community colleges imposed by
Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
   (54) This bill would appropriate $134,000,000 from the General
Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for allocation on a
one-time basis to school districts and charter schools, and would
require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to allocate these
funds in specified amounts to school districts and charter schools on
an enrollment basis for kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive,
and grades 9 to 12, inclusive.  These funds would be applied toward
the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community
colleges imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution.
   (55) This bill would appropriate $1,000,000 from the General Fund
to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for allocation to the 5
Challenger Learner Centers, and would require that each center be
allocated an equal amount.
   (56) This bill would provide that the unencumbered balance as of
June 30, 1999, in the 1997 Omnibus Education Trailer Bill or
reimbursement of state-mandated local cost claims submitted by local
education agencies is reappropriated to the Controller for the
reimbursement of these claims for fiscal years 1995-96 to 1999-2000,
inclusive.
   (57) The bill would reappropriate $3,320,000 from the Proposition
98 Reversion Account to the Chancellor of the California Community
Colleges for various purposes.
   (58) This bill would appropriate $10,000,000 from the General Fund
to the Controller for transfer to Section B of the State School Fund
for the purpose of providing one-time grants to community college
districts for the 1999-2000 fiscal year for the purpose of one-time
expenditures on high priority projects for instructional equipment,
library materials replacement, technology infrastructure, scheduled
maintenance, and special repairs.  The bill would require these funds
to be allocated in an average amount per actual statewide full-time
equivalent student enrollment reported for the 1998-99 fiscal year.
These funds would be applied toward the minimum funding requirement
for school districts and community college districts imposed by
Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the
1998-99 fiscal year.
   (59) Existing law requires, and provides a mechanism for,
reimbursement of certain school district costs associated with
compliance with desegregation plans or orders and voluntary
integration programs.
   This bill would appropriate $2,000,000 from the General Fund to
the State Controller to provide for the unfunded costs for Sacramento
City Unified School District's 1998-99 voluntary integration
program.  The bill would require the funds appropriated by these
provisions to be counted toward the state's minimum funding
obligation pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution for the 1998-99 fiscal year.
   (60) This bill would appropriate a total of $6,724,097 from the
General Fund to the State Controller, for allocation to school
districts for costs associated with school desegregation pursuant to
a prescribed schedule for the 1994-95 and the 1995-96 fiscal years.
   This bill would require the funds appropriated by these provisions
to be counted towards the state's minimum funding obligation
pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution
for years prior to the 1998-99 fiscal year to the extent that
obligations remain.
   (61) This bill would appropriate $200,000 from the General Fund to
the University of California for violence prevention studies.
  (62) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state.  Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund
to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide
and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed
$1,000,000.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   (63) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
   Appropriation:  yes.

determined for the 1993-94 fiscal year without being reduced by the
deficit factor required pursuant to Section 2558.4.
   (2) When computing the revenue limit for each county
superintendent of schools for the 1995-96 or any subsequent fiscal
year pursuant to this article, the revenue limit shall be determined

guidelines.  The development of these guidelines shall be funded from
funds appropriated for this purpose in the Budget Act of 1998.  The
guidelines shall focus on preparing four- and five-year-old children
for kindergarten.  The guidelines shall identify appropriate
developmental milestones for each age, how to assess where children
are in relation to the milestones, and suggested methods for
achieving the milestones.  In addition, the guidelines shall identify
any basic beginning skills needed to prepare children for
kindergarten or first grade, and methods for teaching these basic
skills.  The guidelines shall be articulated with the academic
content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of
Education for kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive.  The State
Department of Education may contract with an appropriate public or
private agency to develop the guidelines.
   (b) In future expenditure plans for quality improvement
activities, the State Department of Education shall include funding
for periodically updating the guidelines consistent with academic and
performance standards and relevant research, broadly distributing
the guidelines, and providing education, outreach, and training

Section 8235), and Article 8 (commencing with Section 8240) shall use
the prekindergarten learning development guidelines developed
pursuant to this section.
  SEC. 3.  Section 8447 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8447.  (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that greater
efficiencies may be achieved in the execution of state subsidized
child care and development program contracts with public and private
agencies by the timely approval of contract provisions by the
Department of Finance, the Department of General Services, and the
State Department of Education and by authorizing the State Department
of Education to establish a multiyear application, contract
expenditure, and service review as may be necessary to provide timely
service while preserving audit and oversight functions to protect
the public welfare.
   (b) The Department of Finance and the Department of General
Services shall approve or disapprove annual contract funding terms
and conditions, including both family copayment schedules and
regional market rate schedules that are required to be adhered to by
contract, and contract face sheets submitted by the State Department
of Education not more than 30 working days from the date of
submission, unless unresolved conflicts remain between the Department
of Finance, the State Department of Education, and the Department of
General Services.  The State Department of Education shall resolve
conflicts within an additional 30 working day time period.  Contracts
and funding terms and conditions shall be issued to child care
contractors no later than June 1.  Applications for new child care
funding shall be issued not more than 45 working days after the
effective date of authorized new allocations of child care moneys.
   (c) With respect to subdivision (b), it is the intent of the
Legislature that the Department of Finance annually review contract
funding terms and conditions for the primary purpose of ensuring
consistency between child care contracts and the child care budget.
This review, shall include evaluating any proposed changes to
contract language or other fiscal documents to which the contractor
is required to adhere, including those changes to terms or conditions
that authorize higher reimbursement rates, that modify related
adjustment factors, that modify administrative or other service
allowances, or that diminish copayment revenues otherwise available
for services, to determine if the change is necessary or has the
potential effect of reducing the number of full-time equivalent
children that may be served.
   (d) Alternative payment child care systems, as set forth in
Article 3 (commencing with Section 8220), shall be subject to the
rates established in the Regional Market Rate Survey of California
Child Care Providers for provider payments.  The State Department of
Education shall contract to conduct and complete the annual Regional
Market Rate Survey with a goal of completion by March 1.
   (e) By March 1 of each year, the Department of Finance shall
provide to the State Department of Education the State Median Income
amount for a four-person household in California based on the best
available data.  The State Department of Education shall adjust its
fee schedule for child care providers to reflect this updated state
median income.
   (f) Notwithstanding the June 1 date specified in subdivision (b),
changes to the regional market rate schedules and copayment schedules
may be made at any other time to reflect the availability of
accurate data necessary for their completion, provided these
documents receive the approval of the Department of Finance.  The
Department of Finance shall review the changes within 30 working days
of submission and the State Department of Education shall resolve
conflicts within an additional 30 working day period.  Contractors
shall be given adequate notice prior to the effective date of the
approved schedules.  It is the intent of the Legislature that
contracts for services not be delayed by the timing of the
availability of accurate data needed to update these schedules.
  SEC. 4.  Section 8482.3 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8482.3.  (a) The After School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods
Partnerships Program shall be established to serve pupils in
kindergarten and grades 1 to 9, inclusive, at participating
elementary, middle, junior high, and charter schoolsites.
   (b) A program may operate on one or multiple schoolsites.  If a
program operates at multiple schoolsites, only one application shall
be required for its establishment.
   (c) An after school program established pursuant to this article
shall consist of the following two components:
   (1) An educational and literacy component whereby tutoring or
homework assistance is provided in one or more of the following
areas:  language arts, mathematics, history and social science, or
science.
   (2) A component whereby educational enrichment, which may include,
but need not be limited to, recreation and prevention activities, is
provided.
   (d) Applicants for programs established pursuant to this article
may include any of the following:
   (1) A local education agency, including a charter school.
   (2) A city, county, or nonprofit organization in partnership with,

the principal of each schoolsite.
   (3) Each partner in the application agrees to share responsibility
for the quality of the program.
   (4) The application designates the public agency or local
education agency partner to act as the fiscal agent.  For purposes of
this section, "public agency" means only a county board of
supervisors or, where the city is incorporated or has a charter, a
city council.
   (5) Applicants agree to follow all fiscal reporting and auditing
standards required by the State Department of Education.
  SEC. 5.  Section 8660 of the Education Code is amended to read:

Science is hereby created to establish a multidisciplinary academic
development program in mathematics and science and to enable pupils
with demonstrated academic excellence in mathematics and science to
receive intensive educational enrichment in these subjects.
   (b) The California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science
shall provide an opportunity for pupils who wish to study advanced
mathematics or science or to pursue careers that require a high
degree of skills and knowledge in mathematics or science.
  SEC. 6.  Section 8661 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8661.  The Regents of the University of California are hereby
requested to operate the California State Summer School for
Mathematics and Science.
  SEC. 7.  Section 8662 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8662.  (a) Pupils who have demonstrated academic excellence in
mathematics and science and who meet one of the following criteria
shall be eligible for admission to the summer school:
   (1) The pupil graduated, or will graduate, from the 8th grade at
the end of the school year immediately preceding the summer school

expected levels of academic achievement.
   (i) (1) The maximum amount of funding for the purposes of programs
offered pursuant to this section to serve pupils in grades 2 to 6,
inclusive, shall not exceed 10 percent of the statewide total

pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 42239.
   (2) If the funds claimed by school districts or charter schools
pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this subdivision
exceed the available balance of the appropriation made for the
purposes of funding programs offered pursuant to this section in
paragraph (1) of this subdivision after the minimum allocation to
eligible districts has been made pursuant to subparagraph (A) of

   41203.1.  (a) For the 1990-91 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter, allocations calculated pursuant to Section 41203 shall be
distributed in accordance with calculations provided in this
section.  Notwithstanding Section 41203, and for the purposes of this
section, school districts, community college districts, and direct
elementary and secondary level instructional services provided by the
State of California shall be regarded as separate segments of public
education, and each of these three segments of public education
shall be entitled to receive respective shares of the amount
calculated pursuant to Section 41203 as though the calculation made
pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the
California Constitution were to be applied separately to each segment
and the base year for the purposes of this calculation under
paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the
California Constitution were based on the 1989-90 fiscal year.
Calculations made pursuant to this subdivision shall be made so that
each segment of public education is entitled to the greater of the
amounts calculated for that segment pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2)
of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution.
   (b) If the single calculation made pursuant to Section 41203
yields a guaranteed amount of funding that is less than the sum of
the amounts calculated pursuant to subdivision (a), then the amount
calculated pursuant to Section 41203 shall be prorated for the three
segments of public education.
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this section shall
not apply to fiscal year 1992-93 to fiscal year 1999-2000,
inclusive.
  SEC. 24.  Section 41344 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   41344.  (a) If, as the result of an audit or review, a local
education agency is required to repay an apportionment significant
audit exception, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the
Director of Finance, or their designees, within 90 days of the date
on which a local education agency receives the final report of the
audit or review, shall jointly establish a plan for repayment of
state school funds that the local education agency received on the
basis of average daily attendance, or other data, that did not comply
with statutory or regulatory requirements that were conditions of
the apportionments.  At the time the local education agency is
notified, the Controller shall also be notified of the repayment
plan.  The repayment plan shall be established in accordance with the
following:
   (1) The Controller shall withhold the disallowed amount at the
next principal apportionment or pursuant to paragraph (2), unless
subdivision (d) applies, in which case the disallowed amount shall be
withheld, at the next principal apportionment or pursuant to
paragraph (2) following the determination regarding the appeal.  In
calculating the disallowed amount, the Controller shall determine the
total amount of overpayment received by the local education agency
on the basis of average daily attendance, or other data, reported by
the local education agency that did not comply with one or more
statutory or regulatory requirements that are conditions of
apportionment.
   (2) If the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Director
of the Department of Finance concur that repayment of the full
liability in the current fiscal year would constitute a severe
financial hardship for the local agency, they may approve a repayment
plan of equal annual payments over a period of up to eight years.
The repayment plan shall include interest on each year's outstanding
balance at the rate earned on the state's short-term pooled
investment fund during that year.  The Superintendent of Public
Instruction and the Director of the Department of Finance shall
jointly establish this repayment plan.  The Controller shall withhold
amounts pursuant to the repayment plan.
   (3) If the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Director
of the Department of Finance do not jointly establish a schedule for
repayment                                                  and notify
the State Controller's Office of that repayment schedule within 90
days following the date on which the local education agency received
the final report of the audit or review, the State Controller shall
withhold the entire disallowed amount determined pursuant to
paragraph (1) at the next principal apportionment.
   (b) A local educational agency's fiscal year average daily
attendance may not be computed pursuant to Section 42238.5 if the
average daily attendance of a local education agency is adjusted by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction pursuant to subdivision (a)
or pursuant to any other audit or review conducted by a governmental
agency.
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this section may
not be waived under any authority set forth in this code except that
a local educational agency may request a waiver of strict compliance
in accordance with Section 41609.
   (d) Within 60 days of the date on which a local education agency
receives a final audit report resulting from an audit or review, a
local agency may appeal a finding contained in the final report to a
panel consisting of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the
Director of the Department of Finance, and a Chief Administrative
Officer of the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team
established pursuant to Section 42127.8, or one of their designees.
Within 90 days of the date on which the appeal is received by the
panel, a hearing shall be held at which the local agency may present
evidence or arguments if the local education agency believes that the
final report contains any finding that was based on errors of fact.
A repayment schedule may not commence until the panel reaches a
determination regarding the appeal.  If the panel determines that the
local agency is correct in its assertion in whole or in part, the
allowable portion of any apportionment payment that was withheld
shall be paid at the next principal apportionment.
   (e) As used in this section, "audit or review" means an audit
conducted by the Controller's office, an annual audit conducted by a
certified public accountant or a public accountant firm pursuant to
Section 41020, and an audit or review conducted by a governmental
agency that provided the local education agency with an opportunity
to provide a written response.

per unit of average daily attendance received in the prior fiscal
year pursuant to Section 42238.8.
   (c) Except for districts subject to subdivision (d), the base
revenue limit computed pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be
multiplied by the district average daily attendance computed pursuant
to Section 42238.5.
   (d) (1) For districts for which the number of units of average
daily attendance determined pursuant to Section 42238.5 is greater
for the current fiscal year than for the 1982-83 fiscal year, compute
the following amount, in lieu of the amount computed pursuant to
subdivision (c):
   (A) Multiply the base revenue limit computed pursuant to
subdivision (c) by the average daily attendance computed pursuant to
Section 42238.5 for the 1982-83 fiscal year.
   (B) Multiply the lesser of the amount in subdivision (c) or 1.05
times the statewide average base revenue limit per unit of average
daily attendance for districts of similar type for the current fiscal
year by the difference between the average daily attendance computed
pursuant to Section 42238.5 for the current and 1982-83 fiscal
years.
   (C) Add the amounts in subparagraphs (A) and (B).
   (2) This subdivision shall become inoperative on July 1, 1998.
   (e) For districts electing to compute units of average daily

42238.5, the amount computed pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with
Section 42280) shall be added to the amount computed in subdivision
(c) or (d), as appropriate.
   (f) For the 1984-85 fiscal year only, the county superintendent
shall reduce the total revenue limit computed in this section by the
amount of the decreased employer contributions to the Public
Employees' Retirement System resulting from enactment of Chapter 330
of the Statutes of 1982, offset by any increase in those
contributions, as of the 1983-84 fiscal year, resulting from
subsequent changes in employer contribution rates.
   (g) The reduction required by subdivision (f) shall be calculated
as follows:
   (1) Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have
been made in the 1983-84 fiscal year if the applicable Public
Employees' Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect
immediately prior to the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of
1982 were in effect during the 1983-84 fiscal year.
   (2) Subtract from the amount determined in paragraph (1) the
greater of subparagraph (A) or (B):
   (A) The amount of employer contributions that would have been made
in the 1983-84 fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees'
Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately
after the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 were in
effect during the 1983-84 fiscal year.
   (B) The actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public

educational agency, from a revenue source determined on the basis of
equity to be properly excludable from the provisions of this
subdivision by the Superintendent of Public Instruction with the
approval of the Director of Finance.
   (4) For accounting purposes, the reduction made by this
subdivision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate
sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
   (h) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall apportion to
each school district the amount determined in this section less the
sum of:
   (1) The district's property tax revenue received pursuant to

district that has converted all of its schools to charter status
pursuant to Section 47606, the amount of statewide average
general-purpose funding per unit of average daily attendance received

the 1983-84 fiscal year hours of attendance.  This amount shall be
increased annually by the percentage increase granted to school
districts or charter schools for base revenue limit increases.
   (b) Multiply the amount computed in subdivision (a) by the lesser
of the 1983-84 fiscal year hours of summer school attendance or the
actual fiscal year hours of summer school attendance computed

Budget Act, has been met for all courses identified in paragraphs (1)
and (2).  The total statewide amount apportioned for general
vocational work experience summer school programs shall not exceed
one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in any fiscal year.  If the
total statewide entitlement pursuant to this paragraph exceeds one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the State Department of
Education shall apportion funds on a pro rata basis.  As used in this
section, reimbursement of "hours of general vocational work
experience" shall be based on the number of hours of attendance for
that work experience course, at a rate equal to that for a course in
paragraph (2) of the same number of credits.

experience" shall be based on the number of hours of attendance for
that work experience course, at a rate equal to that for a course in
paragraph (2) of the same number of credits.
   (g) (1) Commencing in the 1998-99 fiscal year, and each fiscal
year thereafter, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3) of
subdivision  (f), a school district's or charter school's maximum
entitlement for reimbursement for pupil attendance in summer school
programs offered pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision
(f) shall be an amount equal to 7 percent of the district's total
enrollment for the prior fiscal year multiplied by 120 hours,

jurisdiction over the school attended by the pupil, to have two
fingerprint cards bearing the legible rolled and flat impressions of
the person's fingerprints together with a personal description of the
applicant prepared by a local public law enforcement agency having
jurisdiction in the area of the school district, which agency shall
transmit the cards, together with the fee required by subdivision
(f), to the Department of Justice; except that any district, or
districts with a common board, may process the fingerprint cards if
the district so elects.
   (2) As used in this section, "local public law enforcement agency"
includes any school district and as used in Section 45126 requires
the Department of Justice to provide to any school district, upon
application, information pertaining only to applicants for employment
by the district, including applicants who are employees of another
district.
   (b) (1) Upon receiving the fingerprint cards, the Department of
Justice shall ascertain whether the applicant has been arrested or
convicted of any crime insofar as that fact can be ascertained from
information available to the department and forward the information
to the employing agency submitting the applicant's fingerprints no
more than 15 working days after receiving the fingerprint cards.  The
Department of Justice shall not forward records of criminal
proceedings that did not result in a conviction but shall forward
information on arrests pending adjudication.
   (2) Upon implementation of an electronic fingerprinting system
with terminals located statewide and managed by the Department of
Justice, the Department of Justice shall ascertain the information
required pursuant to this subdivision within three working days.  If
the Department of Justice cannot ascertain the information required
pursuant to this subdivision within three working days, the
department shall notify the school district that it cannot so
ascertain the required information.  This notification shall be
delivered by telephone or electronic mail to the school district.  If
a school district is notified by the Department of Justice that it
cannot ascertain the required information about a person, the school
district may not employ that person until the Department of Justice
ascertains that information.
   (3) In the case of a person to be employed in a position not
requiring certification qualifications who is described in
subparagraph (A) or (B), the school district shall request the
Department of Justice to forward one copy of the fingerprint cards to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the purpose of obtaining any
record of previous convictions of the applicant.
   (A) The person has not resided in the State of California for at
least one year immediately preceding the person's application for
employment.
   (B) The person has resided for more than one year, but less than

secondary school pupils who are to be employed in a temporary or
part-time position by the governing board of the school district
having jurisdiction over the school they attend.
   (d) The governing board of each district shall maintain a list
indicating the number of current employees, except secondary school
pupils employed in a temporary or part-time position by the governing

working days of their receipt and any cards in its possession on the
date of the amendment of this section by Assembly Bill 1610 of the
1997-98 Regular Session within 30 working days of that date.  School
districts that have previously submitted identification cards for
current employees to either the Department of Justice or the Federal
Bureau of Investigation shall not be required to further implement
the provisions of this section as it applies to those employees.
   (e) A plea or verdict of guilty or a finding of guilt by a court
in a trial without a jury or forfeiture of bail is deemed to be a
conviction within the meaning of this section, irrespective of a
subsequent order under the provisions of Section 1203.4 of the Penal
Code allowing the withdrawal of the plea of guilty and entering of a
plea of not guilty, or setting aside the verdict of guilty, or
dismissing the accusations or information.
   (f) (1) The school district shall provide the means whereby the
fingerprint cards may be completed and may charge a fee determined by
the Department of Justice to be sufficient to reimburse the
department for the costs incurred in processing the application.  The
amount of the fee shall be forwarded to the Department of Justice
with the required copies of applicant's fingerprint cards.  The
governing board may collect a reasonable fee payable to the local
public law enforcement agency taking the fingerprints and completing
the data on the fingerprint cards.  In no event shall the fee exceed
the actual costs incurred by the agency.
   (2) The additional fees shall be transmitted to the city or county
treasury.  If an applicant is subsequently hired by the board within
30 days of the application, the fee may be reimbursed to the
applicant.  Funds not reimbursed to applicants shall be credited to
the general fund of the district.  If the fingerprint cards forwarded
to the Department of Justice are those of a person already in the
employ of the governing board, the district shall pay the fee
required by this section, which fee shall be a proper charge against
the general fund of the district, and no fee shall be charged the
employee.
   (g) This section applies to substitute and temporary employees
regardless of length of employment.
   (h) Subdivision (c) of this section shall not apply to a person to
be employed if a school district determines that an emergency or an
exceptional situation exists, and that a delay in filling the
position in which the person would be employed would endanger pupil
health or safety.
   (i) Where reasonable access to the statewide, electronic
fingerprinting network is available, the Department of Justice may
mandate electronic submission of the fingerprints and related
information required by this section.
   (j) A school district shall request subsequent arrest service from

determination in accordance with subdivision (a) of Section 708 of
Title 11 of the California Code of Regulations.
   (4) Compliance with destruction, storage, dissemination, auditing,
backgrounding, and training requirements as set forth in Sections
700 through 708, inclusive, of Title 11 of the California Code of

Justice shall process pursuant to this section all requests from a
school district, an employer, or a human resource agency for criminal
history information on a volunteer to be used in a school.

making these computations, both of the following conditions shall
apply:
   (1) Revenue limit funding attributable to pupils in kindergarten
and grades 1 to 5, inclusive, shall equal the statewide average
revenue limit funding per unit of average daily attendance received
by elementary school districts; revenue limit funding attributable to
pupils in grades 6, 7, and 8, shall equal the statewide average
revenue limit funding per unit of average daily attendance received
by unified school districts; and revenue limit funding attributable
to pupils in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, shall equal the statewide
average revenue limit funding per unit of average daily attendance

computed in subdivision (a) by the charter school's average daily
attendance in the corresponding grade level ranges.  The resulting
figure shall be the amount of the charter school's general-purpose
entitlement, which shall be funded through a combination of state aid
and local funds.  From funds appropriated for this purpose pursuant
to Section 14002, the superintendent shall apportion to each charter
school this amount, less local funds allocated to the charter school
pursuant to Section 47635.
   (c) General-purpose entitlement funding may be used for any public
school purpose determined by the governing body of the charter
school.

apportion to each charter school from funds appropriated for this
purpose in the annual Budget Act or another statute.
   (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a charter school

   (i) Categorical block grant funding may be used for any purpose
determined by the governing body of the charter school.
   47634.5. (a) The Director of Finance shall compute and provide to

   (1) The average amount of property taxes per unit of average daily
attendance, including average daily attendance attributable to
charter schools, received by the local educational agency, multiplied
by the charter school's average daily attendance.
   (2) The statewide average general-purpose funding per unit of
average daily attendance received by school districts, as determined
by the State Department of Education, multiplied by the charter
school's average daily attendance in each of the four corresponding
grade level ranges:  kindergarten and grades 1, 2, and 3; grades 4,
5, and 6; grades 7 and 8; and grades 9 to 12, inclusive.
   (b) The sponsoring local educational agency shall transfer funding
in lieu of property taxes to the charter school in monthly
installments, by no later than the 15th of each month.
   (1) For the months of August to February, inclusive, a charter
school's funding in lieu of  property taxes shall be computed based
on the amount of property taxes received by the sponsoring local
educational agency during the preceding fiscal year, as reported to
the Superintendent of Public Instruction for purposes of the second
principal apportionment.  A sponsoring local educational agency shall
transfer to the charter school the charter school's estimated annual
entitlement to funding in lieu of property taxes as follows:
   (A) Six percent in August.
   (B) Twelve percent in September.
   (C) Eight percent each month in October, November, December,

principal apportionment.  A sponsoring local educational agency shall
transfer to each of its charter schools an amount equal to one-sixth
of the difference between the school's estimated annual entitlement
to funding in lieu of property taxes and the amounts provided
pursuant to paragraph (1).  An additional one-sixth of this
difference shall be included in the amount transferred in the month
of March.
   (3) For the month of July, a charter school's funding in lieu of
property taxes shall be computed based on the amount of property
taxes estimated to be received by the sponsoring local educational
agency during the prior fiscal year, as reported to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction for purposes of the second
principal apportionment.  A sponsoring local educational agency shall
transfer to each of its charter schools an amount equal to the
remaining difference between the school's estimated annual
entitlement to funding in lieu of property taxes and the amounts
provided pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2).
   (4) Final adjustments to the amount of funding in lieu of property
taxes allocated to a charter school shall be made in February, in
conjunction with the final reconciliation of annual apportionments to
schools.

Schools

   47636.  (a) This chapter may not be construed to prevent charter
schools from applying for, or receiving, operational funding under
state or federal categorical programs, the funding of which is not
included in the computation of the block grant entitlement.  Unless
specifically prohibited, a charter school shall only apply for
federal or state categorical programs as follows:
   (1) A charter school that elects to receive its funding directly,
pursuant to Section 47651, may apply for federal and state
categorical programs individually.  Except as otherwise provided in
this chapter, for purposes of determining eligibility for, and
allocations of federal or state categorical aid, a charter school
that applies individually shall be deemed to be a school district.
   (2) A charter school that does not elect to receive its funding
directly may apply for federal and state categorical programs in
cooperation with its sponsoring local educational agencies.
   (b) This chapter may not be construed to prevent a charter school
from negotiating with a local educational agency for a share of
operational funding from sources not otherwise set forth in this
chapter including, but not limited to, all of the following:

exceed its revenue limit entitlement.
   (5) "Basic aid" received by a school district pursuant to Section
6 of Article IX of the California Constitution.
   47638.  For purposes of determining eligibility for, and
allocations of, lottery funds, a charter school shall be deemed to be
a school district.  The State Department of Education shall
determine each charter school's appropriate share of statewide total
average daily attendance and include this information in its
transmittals to the Controller for use in computing allocations of

agency" means a school district as defined in Section 41302.5 or a
charter school that is deemed a local educational agency pursuant to
Section 47641.  As used in this article, "local educational agency"
also means a charter school that is responsible for complying with
all provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20
U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.) and implementing regulations as they
relate to local educational agencies.
   47641.  (a) A charter school that includes in its petition for
establishment or renewal, or that otherwise provides, verifiable,
written assurances that the charter school will participate as a
local educational agency in a special education plan approved by the
State Board of Education shall be deemed a local educational agency
for the purposes of compliance with federal law (Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act; 20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.) and for
eligibility for federal and state special education funds.  A charter
school that is deemed a local educational agency for the purposes of
special education pursuant to this article shall be permitted to
participate in an approved special education local plan that is
consistent with subdivision (a), (b), or (c) of Section 56195.1.
   (b) A charter school that was granted a charter by a local
educational agency that does not comply with subdivision (a) may not
be deemed a local educational agency pursuant to this article, but
shall be deemed a public school of the local educational agency that
granted the charter.
   (c) A charter school that has been granted a charter by the State
Board of Education, and for which the board has delegated its
supervisorial and oversight responsibilities pursuant to paragraph
(1) of subdivision (k) of Section 47605, and does not comply with
subdivision (a), shall be deemed a public school of the local
educational agency to which the board has delegated its supervisorial
and oversight responsibilities.
   (d) A charter school that has been granted a charter by the State
Board of Education, and for which the board has not delegated its
supervisorial and oversight responsibilities pursuant to paragraph
(1) of subdivision (k) of Section 47605, may not be deemed a local
educational agency unless the charter school complies with
subdivision (a).
   47642.  Notwithstanding Section 47651, all state and federal
funding for special education apportioned on behalf on pupils
enrolled in a charter school shall be included in the allocation plan
adopted pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 56195.7 or Section
56836.05, or both, by the special education local plan area that
includes the charter school.
   47643.  If the approval of a petition for a charter school
requires a change to the allocation plan developed pursuant to
subdivision (i) of Section 56195.7 or Section 56836.05, the change

education local plan area.
   47644.  For each charter school deemed a local educational agency
for the purposes of special education, an amount equal to the amount
computed pursuant to Section 56836.08 for the special education local
plan area in which the charter school is included shall be
apportioned by the Superintendent of Public Instruction pursuant to
the local allocation plan developed pursuant to subdivision (i) of
Section 56195.7 or Section 56836.05, or both.  If the charter school

schools pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 56195.1, the amount
computed pursuant to Section 56836.11, as adjusted pursuant to the
incidence multiplier set forth in Section 56836.155, shall be
apportioned by the superintendent for each unit of average daily
attendance reported pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 56836.06.

   47645.  An agency reviewing a request by a charter school to
participate as a local educational agency in a special education
local plan area may not treat the charter school differently from the
manner in which it treats a similar request made by a school
district.  In reviewing and approving a request by a charter school

local plan area, a local or state agency shall ensure all of the
following:
   (a) The special education local plan area complies with Section
56140.
   (b) The charter school participates in state and federal funding
for special education and the allocation plan developed pursuant to

education local plan area and benefits from services provided
throughout the special education local plan area, in the same manner
as other local educational agencies of the special education local

for special education in the same manner as any other public school
of that local educational agency.  A child with disabilities
attending the charter school shall receive special education
instruction or designated instruction and services, or both, in the
same manner as a child with disabilities who attends another public
school of that local educational agency.  The agency that granted the
charter shall ensure that all children with disabilities enrolled in
the charter school receive special education and designated
instruction and services in a manner that is consistent with their
individualized education program and is in compliance with the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C.  Sec. 1400 et
seq.) and implementing regulations.
   (b) In administering the local operation of special education
pursuant to the local plan established pursuant to Chapter 3
(commencing with Section 56200) of Part 30, in which the local
educational agency that granted the charter participates, the local
educational agency that granted the charter shall ensure that each
charter school that is deemed a public school for purposes of special
education receives an equitable share of special education funding
and services consisting of either, or both, of the following:
   (1) State and federal funding provided to support special
education instruction or designated instruction and services, or
both, provided or procured by the charter school that serve pupils
enrolled in and attending the charter school.

charter school that is deemed a public school for purposes of special
education also contributes an equitable share of its charter school
block grant funding to support districtwide special education
instruction and services, including, but not limited to, special
education instruction and services for pupils with disabilities
enrolled in the charter school.
   47647.  A local educational agency reviewing a petition for the
establishment or renewal of a charter school may not refuse to grant
the petition solely because the charter might enroll pupils with
disabilities who reside in a special education local plan area other
than the special education local plan area that includes the local
educational agency reviewing the petition.

      Article 5.  Apportionment of Funds

   47650.  A charter school shall be deemed to be a school district
for purposes of determining the manner in which warrants are drawn on
the State School Fund pursuant to Section 14041.  For purposes of
Section 14041, a charter school's "total amount certified" means the
state aid portion of the charter school's total general-purpose
entitlement and categorical block grant computed pursuant to Sections
47633 and 47634.
   47651.  (a) A charter school may receive the state aid portion of
the charter school's total general-purpose entitlement and
categorical block grant directly or through the local educational
agency that either grants its charter or was designated by the State
Board of Education.
   (1) In the case of a charter school that elects to receive its
funding directly, the warrant shall be drawn in favor of the
superintendent of schools of the county in which the local
educational agency that approved the charter or was designated by the
State Board of Education as the oversight agency pursuant to
paragraph (1) of subdivision (k) of Section 47605 is located, for
deposit to the appropriate funds or accounts of the charter school in
the county treasury.  The county superintendent of schools is
authorized to establish appropriate funds or accounts in the county
treasury for each charter school.
   (2) In the case of a charter school that does not elect to receive
its funding directly pursuant to Section 47651, the warrant shall be
drawn in favor of the superintendent of schools of the county in
which the local educational agency that granted the charter is
located or was designated the oversight agency by the board pursuant
to paragraph (1) of subdivision (k) of Section 47605, for deposit to
the appropriate funds or accounts of the local educational agency.
   (3) In the case of a charter school, the charter of which was
granted by the State Board of Education, but for which the board has
not delegated oversight responsibilities pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (k) of Section 47605, the warrant shall be drawn in
favor of the superintendent of schools in the county where the local
educational agency is located that initially denied the charter that
was later approved by the board.  The county superintendent of
schools is authorized to establish appropriate funds or accounts in
the county treasury for each charter school.
   (b)  On or before June 1 of each year, a charter school electing
to receive its funding directly shall so notify the county
superintendent of schools of the county in which the local
educational agency that granted the charter is located or, in the
case of charters for which the State Board of Education has
designated an oversight agency pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (k) of Section 47605, the county superintendent of
schools of the county in which the designated oversight agency is
located.  An election to receive funding directly shall apply to all
funding that the charter school is eligible to receive including, but
not limited to, the charter general-purpose entitlements and the
categorical block grant computed pursuant to Sections 47633 and
47634, other state and federal categorical aid, and lottery funds.

   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), for purposes of computing
eligibility for, and entitlements to, revenue limit funding, the
average daily attendance of a unified school district, other than a
unified school district that has converted all of its schools to
charter status pursuant to Section 47606, shall include all
attendance of pupils who attend charter schools for which the
district is the sponsoring local educational agency and reside in,
and would otherwise have been eligible to attend a noncharter school

effective shall be multiplied by the school district's base revenue
limit per unit of average daily attendance for the fiscal year in
which the conversion is effective.
   (3) The amounts computed in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be added
and this total shall be divided by the district's total average daily
attendance, including average daily attendance in charter schools
for which it is the sponsoring entity, for the fiscal year prior to
the fiscal year in which the conversion is effective.

both, except for pupils expelled pursuant to subdivision (d) of
Section 48915.  For pupils expelled pursuant to subdivision (d) of
Section 48915, the funds apportioned under subdivision (a) are
continuously appropriated from the General Fund to Section A of the
State School Fund.
   (g) A one-time adjustment shall be made to the amount specified in
subdivision (a), for the 1998-99 fiscal year and subsequent fiscal
years, by increasing that amount by the statewide average quotient
resulting from dividing the average daily attendance specified in

special education local plan areas based on the average daily
attendance reported for the special education local plan area for the
fiscal year in which the computation is made or the prior fiscal
year, whichever is greater.  However, the prior fiscal year average
daily attendance reported for the special education local plan area
shall be adjusted for any loss or gain of average daily attendance
reported for the special education local plan area due to a
reorganization or transfer of territory in the special education
local plan area.
   (b) For the 1998-99 fiscal year only, the prior year average daily
attendance used in this section shall be the 1997-98 average daily
attendance reported for the special education local plan area,
exclusive of average daily attendance for absences excused pursuant
to subdivision (b) of Section 46010, as that section read on July 1,
1996.
   (c) If in the fiscal year for which the computation is made, the
number of units of average daily attendance upon which allocations to
the special education local plan area are based is greater than the
number of units of average daily attendance upon which allocations to
the special education local plan area were based in the prior fiscal
year, the special education local plan area shall be allocated a
growth adjustment equal to the product determined by multiplying the
amounts determined under paragraphs (1) and (2).
   (1) The statewide target amount per unit of average daily
attendance for special education local plan areas determined pursuant
to Section 56836.11, added to the amount determined in paragraph (1)
of subdivision (d) of Section 56836.155.
   (2) The difference between the number of units of average daily
attendance upon which allocations to the special education local plan
area are based for the fiscal year in which the computation is made
and the number of units of average daily attendance upon which
allocations to the special education local plan area were based for
the prior fiscal year.
   (d) If in the fiscal year for which the computation is made, the
number of units of average daily attendance upon which allocations to
the special education local plan area are based is less than the
number of units of average daily attendance upon which allocations to
the special education local plan area were based in the prior fiscal
year, the special education local plan area shall receive a funding
reduction equal to the product determined by multiplying the amounts
determined under paragraphs (1) and (2):
   (1) The amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance
computed for the special education local plan area for the prior
fiscal year.
   (2) The difference between the number of units of average daily
attendance upon which allocations to the special education local plan
area are based for the fiscal year in which the computation is made
and the number of units of average daily attendance upon which
allocations to the special education local plan area were based for
the prior fiscal year.

is greater than the number of units of average daily attendance upon
which the allocations to that special education local plan area were
based in the prior fiscal year, that special education local plan
area shall be allocated a growth adjustment equal to the product
determined by multiplying the amounts determined under paragraphs (1)
and (2).
   (1) The amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance
computed for the special education local plan area for the prior
fiscal year pursuant to Section 56836.10 multiplied by one plus the
inflation adjustment computed pursuant to Section 42238.1 for the
fiscal year in which the computation is being made.
   (2) The difference between the number of units of average daily
attendance upon which allocations to the special education local plan
area are based for the fiscal year in which the computation is made
and the number of units of average daily attendance upon which

established against specific grade level benchmarks of academic
achievement for each subject area tested and shall be based on the
knowledge and skills that pupils will need in order to succeed in the
information-based, global economy of the 21st century.  These skills
shall not include personal behavioral standards or skills,
including, but not limited to, honesty, sociability, ethics, or
self-esteem.  The standards adopted pursuant to this section shall be

instrument that meets the objectives of Section 60602 and that yields
valid, reliable estimates of school performance, school district
performance, and statewide performance of pupils that, in grades 4,
5, 8, and 10, assess basic academic skills and incorporate the use of
direct writing assessment and other assessments of applied academic
skills.
   (2) The State Board of Education shall annually require that each
school district administer the statewide assessment pursuant to this
subdivision to all pupils in grades 4, 5, 8, and 10.  The core
curriculum areas shall be addressed by that assessment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the assessment provided
for under this subdivision shall address, in grade 4, only reading,
written expression, and mathematics, and, in grade 5, only
history/social science and science.  Pupils in a given school shall
be administered a portion of all subjects of the assessment that will
be representative of all the assessment objectives, goals, and
categories of items on the entire assessment in a manner that will
produce results that are valid and reliable at the school and school
district level.  The State Department of Education may provide
assistance to school districts in the implementation of the
assessment established pursuant to this subdivision.
   (3) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent the
State Board of Education from developing or adopting an assessment
instrument that also contains assessments of basic academic skills.
   (d) The State Board of Education shall adopt assessments pursuant
to subdivision (c) that are aligned with the statewide content and
performance standards adopted pursuant to subdivision (a).  The State
Board of Education shall not adopt an assessment pursuant to
subdivision (c) for any core curriculum area until the statewide
content standards for that core curriculum area have been adopted by
the board pursuant to subdivision (a).  The State Board of Education
shall not award contracts for the development of performance
standards and assessments pursuant to subdivision (c) for any core
curriculum area until after adoption of statewide content standards
for that core curriculum area.
   (e) After the adoption of the statewide content standards, the
State Board of Education shall review the achievement test designated
pursuant to Section 60642 for conformance with these statewide
standards.
   (f) After the adoption of the statewide content and performance
standards, the State Board of Education shall review the existing
curriculum frameworks for conformity with the new statewide standards
and shall modify the curriculum frameworks where appropriate to
bring them into alignment with the standards.
   (g) The State Board of Education shall adopt regulations for the
conduct and administration of the testing and assessment program.
   (h) The State Board of Education shall adopt a regulation for
minimum security procedures that test and assessment publishers and
school districts must follow to ensure the security and integrity of
test and assessment questions and materials.
   (i) Following consideration of recommendations of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction, the State Board of Education
shall award a contract or contracts to develop performance standards
pursuant to subdivision (a) and instruments to be used for the

revenues as follows:
   (i) Increases in noncredit FTES shall result in an increase in
revenues in the year of the increase and at the average rate per
noncredit FTES.
   (ii) Decreases in noncredit FTES shall result in a revenue
reduction as follows:
   (I) District revenue shall be adjusted at the average rate per
noncredit FTES.

to read:
   97.2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the

the 1997-98 and 1998-99 fiscal years pursuant to subdivision (e), as
follows:

   (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction
specified in that paragraph for any county or city and county that
has been materially and substantially impacted as a result of a
federally declared disaster, as evidenced by at least 20 percent of
the cities, or cities and unincorporated areas of the county
representing 20 percent of the population within the county suffering
substantial damage, as certified by the Director of the Office of
Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and the
effective date of this section, shall be reduced by that portion of
five million dollars ($5,000,000) determined for that county or city
and county pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3).
   (3) On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall do
all of the following:
   (A) Determine the population of each county and city and county in
which a federally declared disaster has occurred between October 1,
1989, and the effective date of this section.
   (B) Determine for each county and city and county as described in
subparagraph (A) its share of five million dollars ($5,000,000) on
the basis of that county's population relative to the total
population of all counties described in subparagraph (A).
   (C) Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of the
amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).
   (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amount of
property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to
each city, except for a newly incorporated city that did not receive
property tax revenues in the 1991-92 fiscal year, shall be reduced by
9 percent.  In making the above computation with respect to cities
in Alameda County, the computation for a city described in paragraph
(6) of subdivision (a) of Section 100.7, as added by Section 73.5 of
Chapter 323 of the Statutes of 1983, shall be adjusted so that the
amount multiplied by 9 percent is reduced by the amount determined
for that city for "museums" pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision
(h) of Section 95.
   (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction
determined pursuant to that paragraph for any city that has been
materially and substantially impacted as a result of a federally
declared disaster, as certified by the Director of the Office of
Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and the
effective date of this section, shall be reduced by that portion of
fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) determined for that city
pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3).
   (3) On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall do
all of the following:
   (A) Determine the population of each city in which a federally
declared disaster has occurred between October 1, 1989, and the
effective date of this section.
   (B) Determine for each city as described in subparagraph (A) its
share of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) on the basis of that
city's population relative to the total population of all cities
described in subparagraph (A).
   (C) Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of the
amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).
   (4) In the 1992-93 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the auditor shall adjust the computations required pursuant to
Article 4 (commencing with Section 98) so that those computations do
not result in the restoration of any reduction required pursuant to
this section.
   (c) (1) Subject to paragraph (2), the amount of property tax
revenue, other than those revenues that are pledged to debt service,
deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district,
other than a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a
district governed by a city council or whose governing board has the
same membership as a city council, shall be reduced by 35 percent.
For purposes of this subdivision, "revenues that are pledged to debt
service" include only those amounts required to pay debt service
costs in the 1991-92 fiscal year on debt instruments issued by a
special district for the acquisition of capital assets.
   (2) No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any special
district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell
water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that
district's total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown in
the 1989-90 edition of the State Controller's Report on Financial
Transactions Concerning Special Districts (not including any annual
revenues from fiscal years following the 1989-90 fiscal year).  With
respect to any special district, as defined pursuant to subdivision
(m) of Section 95, that is allocated property tax revenue pursuant to
this chapter but does not appear in the State Controller's Report on
Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts, the auditor
shall determine the total annual revenues for that special district
from the information in the 1989-90 edition of the State Controller's
Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties.  With respect
to a special district that did not exist in the 1989-90 fiscal year,
the auditor may use information from the first full fiscal year, as
appropriate, to determine the total annual revenues for that special
district.  No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any countywide
water agency that does not sell water at retail shall exceed an
amount equal to 10 percent of that portion of that agency's general
fund derived from property tax revenues.
   (3) The auditor in each county shall, on or before January 15,
1993, and on or before January 30 of each year thereafter, submit
information to the Controller concerning the amount of the property
tax revenue reduction to each special district within that county as
a result of paragraphs (1) and (2).  The Controller shall certify
that the calculation of the property tax revenue reduction to each
special district within that county is accurate and correct, and
submit this information to the Director of Finance.
   (A) The Director of Finance shall determine whether the total of
the amounts of the property tax revenue reductions to special
districts, as certified by the Controller, is equal to the amount
that would be required to be allocated to school districts and
community college districts as a result of a three hundred
seventy-five million dollar ($375,000,000) shift of property tax
revenues from special districts for the 1992-93 fiscal year.  If, for
any year, the total of the amount of the property tax revenue
reductions to special districts is less than the amount as described
in the preceding sentence, the amount of property tax revenue, other
than those revenues that are pledged to debt service, deemed
allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district, other than
a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a district
governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same
membership as a city council, shall, subject to subparagraph (B), be
reduced by an amount up to 5 percent of the amount subject to
reduction for that district pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2).
   (B) No reduction pursuant to subparagraph (A), in conjunction with
a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), for any special
district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell
water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that
district's total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown in
the most recent State Controller's Report on Financial Transactions
Concerning Special Districts.  No reduction pursuant to subparagraph
(A), in conjunction with a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and
(2), for any countywide water agency that does not sell water at
retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that portion of
that agency's general fund derived from property tax revenues.
   (C) In no event shall the amount of the property tax revenue loss
to a special district derived pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B)
exceed 40 percent of that district's property tax revenues or 10
percent of that district's total revenues, from whatever source.
   (4) For the purpose of determining the total annual revenues of a
special district that provides fire protection or fire suppression
services, all of the following shall be excluded from the
determination of total annual revenues:
   (A) If the district had less than two million dollars ($2,000,000)
in total annual revenues in the 1991-92 fiscal year, the revenue
generated by a fire suppression assessment levied pursuant to Article
3.6 (commencing with Section 50078) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of
Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code.
   (B) In counties that contract with the state to protect state
responsibility areas, the total amount of all funds, regardless of
the source, that are appropriated to a district, including a fire
department, by a board of supervisors pursuant to Section 25642 of
the Government Code or Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 13890) of
Part 2.7 of Division 12 of the Health and Safety Code for fire
protection.
   (C) The revenue received by a district as a result of contracts
entered into pursuant to Section 4133 of the Public Resources Code.
   (5) For the purpose of determining the total annual revenues of a
resource conservation district, all of the following shall be
excluded from the determination of total annual revenues:
   (A) Any revenues received by that district from the state for
financing the acquisition of land, or the construction or improvement
of state projects, and for which that district serves as the fiscal
agent in administering those state funds pursuant to an agreement
entered into between that district and a state agency.
   (B) Any amount received by that district as a private gift or
donation.
   (C) Any amount received as a county grant or contract as
supplemental to, or independent of, that district's property tax
share.
   (D) Any amount received by that district as a federal or state
grant.
   (d) (1) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to the
county, cities within the county, and special districts as a result
of the reductions calculated pursuant to subdivisions (a), (b), and
(c) shall instead be deposited in the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund to be established in each county.  The amount of
revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, derived from
whatever source, shall be allocated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and
(3) to school districts and county offices of education, in total,
and to community college districts, in total, in the same proportion
that property tax revenues were distributed to school districts and
county offices of education, in total, and community college
districts, in total, during the 1991-92 fiscal year.
   (2) The auditor shall, based on information provided by the county
superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph, allocate the
proportion of the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to those
school districts and county offices of education within the county
that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision
(n) of Section 95.  The county superintendent of schools shall
determine the amount to be allocated to each school district and
county office of education in inverse proportion to the amounts of
property tax revenue per average daily attendance in each school
district and county office of education.  In no event shall any
additional money be allocated from the fund to a school district or
county office of education upon that school district or county office
of education becoming an excess tax school entity.
   (3) The auditor shall, based on information provided by the
Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this
paragraph, allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund to those community college districts within the
county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in
subdivision (n) of Section 95.  The chancellor shall determine the
amount to be allocated to each community college district in inverse
proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per funded
full-time equivalent student in each community college district.  In
no event shall any additional money be allocated from the fund to a
community college district upon that district becoming an excess tax
school entity.
   (4) (A) If, after making the allocation required pursuant to
paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional
funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds
pursuant to paragraph (3).  If, after making the allocation pursuant
to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still
additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those
excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2).
   (B) (i) For the 1995-96 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter except the 1999-2000 fiscal year, if, after making the
allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A),
the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be
allocated, the auditor shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii),
allocate those excess funds to the county superintendent of schools.
Funds allocated pursuant to this subparagraph shall be counted as
property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation
of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education
Code, to the extent that those property tax revenues offset state aid
for county offices of education and school districts within the
county pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 56836.08 of the
Education Code.
   (ii) For the 1995-96 fiscal year only, this subparagraph shall
have no application to the County of Mono and the amount allocated
pursuant to this subparagraph in the County of Marin shall not exceed
five million dollars ($5,000,000).
   (iii) For the 1996-97 fiscal year only, the total amount of funds
allocated by the auditor pursuant to this subparagraph and
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3
shall not exceed that portion of two million five hundred thousand
dollars ($2,500,000) that corresponds to the county's proportionate
share of all moneys allocated pursuant to this subparagraph and
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3
for the 1995-96 fiscal year.  Upon the request of the auditor, the
Department of Finance shall provide to the auditor all information in
the department's possession that is necessary for the auditor to
comply with this clause.
   (iv) For the 1999-2000 fiscal year, if, after making the
allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A),
the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be
allocated, the auditor shall allocate the funds to the county,
cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad
valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from
those local agencies to the county's Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund for the relevant fiscal year.  This clause shall be operative
for the 1999-2000 fiscal year only to the extent that moneys are
appropriated for purposes of this clause in the Budget Act of 1999 by
an appropriation that specifically references this clause.
   (C) For purposes of allocating the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the 1996-97 fiscal year, the auditor shall,
after making the allocations for special education programs, if any,
required by subparagraph (B), allocate all remaining funds among the
county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of
ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted
from those local agencies to the county's Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year.  For purposes of ad
valorem property tax revenue allocations for the 1997-98 fiscal year
and each fiscal year thereafter, no amount of ad valorem property tax
revenue allocated to the county, a city, or a special district
pursuant to this subparagraph shall be deemed to be an amount of ad
valorem property tax revenue allocated to that local agency in the
prior fiscal year.
   (5) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 or
its predecessor section for the 1993-94 fiscal year, the amounts
allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to
this subdivision, other than amounts deposited in the Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 33681 of the Health and
Safety Code, shall be deemed property tax revenue allocated to the
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.
   (e) (1) For the 1997-98 fiscal year:
   (A) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the
prior fiscal year to any city subject to the reduction specified in
paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall be reduced by an amount that
is equal to the difference between the amount determined for the city
pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and the amount of the
reduction determined for the city pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b).
   (B) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the
prior fiscal year to any county or city and county subject to the
reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) shall be
reduced by an amount that is equal to the difference between the
amount specified for the county or city and county pursuant to
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) and the amount of the reduction
determined for the county or city and county pursuant to paragraph
(2) of subdivision (a).
   (2) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to a city or
city and county as a result of this subdivision shall be deposited
in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund described in
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d).
   (3) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 for
the 1998-99 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision shall be
deemed property tax revenues allocated to the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.
   (f) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section
that this section supersede and be operative in place of Section
97.03 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as added by Senate Bill 617
of the 1991-92 Regular Session.
  SEC. 58.  Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended
to read:
   97.3.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the
computations and allocations made by each county pursuant to Section
96.1 or its predecessor section, as modified by Section 97.2 or its
predecessor section for the 1992-93 fiscal year, shall be modified
for the 1993-94 fiscal year pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c),
inclusive, as follows:
   (a) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the
prior fiscal year to each county and city and county shall be reduced
by an amount to be determined by the Director of Finance in
accordance with the following:
   (1) The total amount of the property tax reductions for counties
and cities and counties determined pursuant to this section shall be
one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollars
($1,998,000,000) in the 1993-94 fiscal year.
   (2) The Director of Finance shall determine the amount of the
reduction for each county or city and county as follows:
   (A) The proportionate share of the property tax revenue reduction
for each county or city and county that would have been imposed on
all counties under the proposal specified in the "May Revision of the
1993-94 Governor's Budget" shall be determined by reference to the
document entitled "Estimated County Property Tax Transfers Under
Governor's May Revision Proposal," published by the Legislative
Analyst's Office on June 1, 1993.
   (B) Each county's or city and county's proportionate share of
total taxable sales in all counties in the 1991-92 fiscal year shall
be determined.
   (C) An amount for each county and city and county shall be
determined by applying its proportionate share determined pursuant to
subparagraph (A) to the one billion nine hundred ninety-eight
million dollar ($1,998,000,000) statewide reduction for counties and
cities and counties.
   (D) An amount for each county and city and county shall be
determined by applying its proportionate share determined pursuant to
subparagraph (B) to the one billion nine hundred ninety-eight
million dollar ($1,998,000,000) statewide reduction for counties and
cities and counties.
   (E) The Director of Finance shall add the amounts determined
pursuant to subparagraphs (C) and (D) for each county and city and
county, and divide the resulting figure by two.  The amount so
determined for each county and city and county shall be divided by a
factor of 1.038.  The resulting figure shall be the amount of
property tax revenue to be subtracted from the amount of property tax
revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year.
   (3) The Director of Finance shall, by July 15, 1993, report to the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee its determination of the amounts
determined pursuant to paragraph (2).
   (4) On or before August 15, 1993, the Director of Finance shall
notify the auditor of each county and city and county of the amount
of property tax revenue reduction determined for each county and city
and county.
   (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, the
amount of the reduction specified in paragraph (2) for any county or
city and county that has first implemented, for the 1993-94 fiscal
year, the alternative procedure for the distribution of property tax
levies authorized by Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 4701) of Part
8 shall be reduced, for the 1993-94 fiscal year only, in the amount
of any increased revenue allocated to each qualifying school entity
that would not have been allocated for the 1993-94 fiscal year but
for the implementation of that alternative procedure.  For purposes
of this paragraph, "qualifying school entity" means any school
district, county office of education, or community college district
that is not an excess tax school entity as defined in Section 95.1.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the amount of
any reduction calculated pursuant to this paragraph for any county or
city and county shall not exceed the reduction calculated for that
county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (2).
   (b) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the
prior fiscal year to each city shall be reduced by an amount to be
determined by the Director of Finance in accordance with the
following:
   (1) The total amount of the property tax reductions determined for
cities pursuant to this section shall be two hundred eighty-eight
million dollars ($288,000,000) in the 1993-94 fiscal year.
   (2) The Director of Finance shall determine the amount of
reduction for each city as follows:

      (A) The amount of property tax revenue that is estimated to be
attributable in the 1993-94 fiscal year to the amount of each city's
state assistance payment received by that city pursuant to Chapter
282 of the Statutes of 1979 shall be determined.
   (B) A factor for each city equal to the amount determined pursuant
to subparagraph (A) for that city, divided by the total of the
amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) for all cities, shall
be determined.
   (C) An amount for each city equal to the factor determined
pursuant to subparagraph (B), multiplied by three hundred eighty-two
million five hundred thousand dollars ($382,500,000), shall be
determined.
   (D) In no event shall the amount for any city determined pursuant
to subparagraph (C) exceed a per capita amount of nineteen dollars
and thirty-one cents ($19.31), as determined in accordance with that
city's population on January 1, 1993, as estimated by the Department
of Finance.
   (E) The amount determined for each city pursuant to subparagraphs
(C) and (D) shall be the amount of property tax revenue to be
subtracted from the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated
in the prior year.
   (3) The Director of Finance shall, by July 15, 1993, report to the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee those amounts determined pursuant
to paragraph (2).
   (4) On or before August 15, 1993, the Director of Finance shall
notify each county auditor of the amount of property tax revenue
reduction determined for each city located within that county.
   (c) (1) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the
prior fiscal year to each special district, as defined pursuant to
subdivision (m) of Section 95, shall be reduced by the amount
determined for the district pursuant to paragraph (3) and increased
by the amount determined for the district pursuant to paragraph (4).
The total net amount of these changes is intended to equal two
hundred forty-four million dollars ($244,000,000) in the 1993-94
fiscal year.
   (2) (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision,
no reduction shall be made pursuant to this subdivision with respect
to any of the following special districts:
   (i) A local hospital district as described in Division 23
(commencing with Section 32000) of the Health and Safety Code.
   (ii) A water agency that does not sell water at retail, but not
including an agency the primary function of which, as determined on
the basis of total revenues, is flood control.
   (iii) A transit district.
   (iv) A police protection district formed pursuant to Part 1
(commencing with Section 20000) of Division 14 of the Health and
Safety Code.
   (v) A special district that was a multicounty special district as
of July 1, 1979.
   (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, the
first one hundred four thousand dollars ($104,000) of the amount of
any reduction that otherwise would be made under this subdivision
with respect to a qualifying community services district shall be
excluded.  For purposes of this subparagraph, a "qualifying community
services district" means a community services district that meets
all of the following requirements:
   (i) Was formed pursuant to Division 3 (commencing with Section
61000) of Title 6 of the Government Code.
   (ii) Succeeded to the duties and properties of a police protection
district upon the dissolution of that district.
   (iii) Currently provides police protection services to
substantially the same territory as did that district.
   (iv) Is located within a county in which the board of supervisors
has requested the Department of Finance that this subparagraph be
operative in the county.
   (3) (A) On or before September 15, 1993, the county auditor shall
determine an amount for each special district equal to the amount of
its allocation determined pursuant to Section 96 or 96.1, and Section
96.5 or their predecessor sections for the 1993-94 fiscal year
multiplied by the ratio determined pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of former Section 98.6 as that section read on June
15, 1993.  In those counties that were subject to former Sections
98.66, 98.67, and 98.68, as those sections read on that same date,
the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special
district that represents the current amount of its allocation
determined pursuant to Section 96 or 96.1, and Section 96.5 or their
predecessor sections for the 1993-94 fiscal year that is attributed
to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the
Statutes of 1979.  In that county subject to Section 100.4, the
county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district
that represents the current amount of its allocations determined
pursuant to Section 96, 96.1, 96.5, or 100.4 or their predecessor
sections for the 1993-94 fiscal year that is attributable to the
property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the
Statutes of 1979.  In determining these amounts, the county auditor
shall adjust for the influence of increased assessed valuation within
each district, including the effect of jurisdictional changes, and
the reductions in property tax allocations required in the 1992-93
fiscal year by Chapters 699 and 1369 of the Statutes of 1992.  In the
case of a special district that has been consolidated or
reorganized, the auditor shall determine the amount of its current
property tax allocation that is attributable to the prior district's
or districts' receipt of state assistance payments pursuant to
Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this paragraph, for a special district that is governed
by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as
a city council and that is a subsidiary district as defined in
subdivision (e) of Section 16271 of the Government Code, the county
auditor shall multiply the amount that otherwise would be calculated
pursuant to this paragraph by 0.38 and the result shall be used in
the calculations required by paragraph (5).  In no event shall the
amount determined by this paragraph be less than zero.
   (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), commencing with the 1994-95
fiscal year, in the County of Sacramento, the auditor shall determine
the amount for each special district that represents the current
amount of its allocations determined pursuant to Section 96, 96.1,
96.5, or 100.6 for the 1994-95 fiscal year that is attributed to the
property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the
Statutes of 1979.
   (4) (A) (i) On or before September 15, 1993, the county auditor
shall determine an amount for each special district that is engaged
in fire protection activities, as reported to the Controller for
inclusion in the 1989-90 Edition of the Financial Transactions Report
Concerning Special Districts under the heading of "Fire Protection,"
that is equal to the amount of revenue allocated to that special
district from the Special District Augmentation Fund for fire
protection activities in the 1992-93 fiscal year.  For purposes of
the preceding sentence for counties of the second class, the phrase
"amount of revenue allocated to that special district" means an
amount of revenue that was identified for transfer to that special
district, rather than the amount of revenue that was actually
received by that special district pursuant to that transfer.
   (ii) In the case of a special district, other than a special
district governed by the county board of supervisors or whose
governing body is the same as the county board of supervisors, that
is engaged in fire protection activities as reported to the
Controller, the county auditor shall also determine the amount by
which the district's amount determined pursuant to paragraph (3)
exceeds the amount by which its allocation was reduced by operation
of former Section 98.6 in the 1992-93 fiscal year.  This amount shall
be added to the amount otherwise determined for the district under
this paragraph.  In any county subject to former Section 98.65,
98.66, 98.67, or 98.68 in that same fiscal year, the county auditor
shall determine for each special district that is engaged in fire
protection activities an amount that is equal to the amount
determined for that district pursuant to paragraph (3).
   (B) For purposes of this paragraph, a special district includes
any special district that is allocated property tax revenue pursuant
to this chapter and does not appear in the State Controller's Report
on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts, but is
engaged in fire protection activities and appears in the State
Controller's Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties.
   (5) The total amount of property taxes allocated to special
districts by the county auditor as a result of paragraph (4) shall be
subtracted from the amount of property tax revenues not allocated to
special districts by the county auditor as a result of paragraph (3)
to determine the amount to be deposited in the Education Revenue
Augmentation Fund as specified in subdivision (d).
   (6) On or before September 30, 1993, the county auditor shall
notify the Director of Finance of the net amount determined for
special districts pursuant to paragraph (5).
   (d) (1) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to the
county, city and county, cities within the county, and special
districts as a result of the reductions required by subdivisions (a),
(b), and (c) shall instead be deposited in the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund established in each county or city and county
pursuant to Section 97.2.  The amount of revenue in the Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund, derived from whatever source, shall be
allocated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) to school districts and
county offices of education, in total, and to community college
districts, in total, in the same proportion that property tax
revenues were distributed to school districts and county offices of
education, in total, and community college districts, in total,
during the 1992-93 fiscal year.
   (2) The county auditor shall, based on information provided by the
county superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph,
allocate that proportion of the revenue in the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund to be allocated to school districts and county
offices of education only to those school districts and county
offices of education within the county that are not excess tax school
entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95.  The county
superintendent of schools shall determine the amount to be allocated
to each school district in inverse proportion to the amounts of
property tax revenue per average daily attendance in each school
district.  For each county office of education, the allocation shall
be made based on the historical split of base property tax revenue
between the county office of education and school districts within
the county.  In no event shall any additional money be allocated from
the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to a school district or
county office of education upon that district or county office of
education becoming an excess tax school entity.  If, after
determining the amount to be allocated to each school district and
county office of education, the county superintendent of schools
determines there are still additional funds to be allocated, the
county superintendent of schools shall determine the remainder to be
allocated in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax
revenue, excluding Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund moneys, per
average daily attendance in each remaining school district, and on
the basis of the historical split described above for each county
office of education, that is not an excess tax school entity until
all funds that would not result in a school district or county office
of education becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated.
The county superintendent of schools may determine the amounts to be
allocated between each school district and county office of education
to ensure that all funds that would not result in a school district
or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity
are allocated.
   (3) The county auditor shall, based on information provided by the
Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this
paragraph, allocate that proportion of the revenue in the Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund to be allocated to community college
districts only to those community college districts within the county
that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision
(n) of Section 95.  The chancellor shall determine the amount to be
allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to
the amounts of property tax revenue per funded full-time equivalent
student in each community college district.  In no event shall any
additional money be allocated from the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund to a community college district upon that district
becoming an excess tax school entity.
   (4) (A) If, after making the allocation required pursuant to
paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional
funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds
pursuant to paragraph (3).  If, after making the allocation pursuant
to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still
additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those
excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2).  If, after determining the
amount to be allocated to each community college district, the
Chancellor of the California Community Colleges determines that there
are still additional funds to be allocated, the Chancellor of the
California Community Colleges shall determine the remainder to be
allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to
the amounts of property tax revenue, excluding Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund moneys, per funded full-time equivalent student in
each remaining community college district that is not an excess tax
school entity until all funds that would not result in a community
college district becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated.

   (B) (i) For the 1995-96 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter except the 1999-2000 fiscal year, if, after making the
allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A),
the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be
allocated, the auditor shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii),
allocate those excess funds to the county superintendent of schools.
Funds allocated pursuant to this subparagraph shall be counted as
property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation
of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education
Code, to the extent that those property tax revenues offset state aid
for county offices of education and school districts within the
county pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 56836.08 of the
Education Code.
   (ii) For the 1995-96 fiscal year only, this subparagraph shall
have no application to the County of Mono and the amount allocated
pursuant to this subparagraph in the County of Marin shall not exceed
five million dollars ($5,000,000).
   (iii) For the 1996-97 fiscal year only, the total amount of funds
allocated by the auditor pursuant to this subparagraph and
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.2
shall not exceed that portion of two million five hundred thousand
dollars ($2,500,000) that corresponds to the county's proportionate
share of all moneys allocated pursuant to this subparagraph and
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.2
for the 1995-96 fiscal year.  Upon the request of the auditor, the
Department of Finance shall provide to the auditor all information in
the department's possession that is necessary for the auditor to
comply with this clause.
   (iv) For the 1999-2000 fiscal year, if, after making the
allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A),
the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be
allocated, the auditor shall allocate the funds to the county,
cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad
valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from
those local agencies to the county's Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund for the relevant fiscal year.  This clause shall be operative
for the 1999-2000 fiscal year only to the extent that moneys are
appropriated for purposes of this clause in the Budget Act of 1999 by
an appropriation that specifically references this clause.
   (C) For purposes of allocating the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the 1996-97 fiscal year, the auditor shall,
after making the allocations for special education programs, if any,
required by subparagraph (B), allocate all remaining funds among the
county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of
ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted
from those local agencies to the county's Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year.  For purposes of ad
valorem property tax revenue allocations for the 1997-98 fiscal year
and each fiscal year thereafter, no amount of ad valorem property tax
revenue allocated to the county, a city, or a special district
pursuant to this subparagraph shall be deemed to be an amount of ad
valorem property tax revenue allocated to that local agency in the
prior fiscal year.
   (5) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 for
the 1994-95 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision, other than
those amounts deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund
pursuant to any provision of the Health and Safety Code, shall be
deemed property tax revenue allocated to the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.
